Guild Wars Nightfall Descends in October

NCsoft and developer ArenaNet announced today that Guild Wars Nightfall, the latest module in the Guild Wars massively-multiplayer RPG universe, will arrive in stores worldwide on October 27.

Guild Wars Nightfall takes adventurers to the continent of Elona, where an unbalanced ruler is trying to free a nasty god. The title introduces Heroes, player companions which can be leveled up, use designated skills and equipment, assist in quests, and compete in Hero vs. Hero battles.

While workaday heroes will be able to grab the standard version of Nightfall, NCsoft will also release a Collector's Edition, which includes a behind-the-scenes DVD, an art book, collector's skill pins, a mini-standee, a poster-sized map of Elona, and the Guild Wars Nightfall soundtrack CD.

In the third campaign in ArenaNet's massively multiplayer online RPG, players must fight to hold back the night as a mad ruler attempts to free an outcast god and bring darkness to the continent of Elona.
